You may instruct Willkie at any time not to use your personal information covered by this Privacy Policy to provide you with information and promotions by sending us an e-mail at interaction@willkie.com. Please note that if you exercise choice in this manner, you will continue to receive communications concerning services you requested, and in response to any requests for information by you. Please also note that this opt-out process may take some time to complete, consistent with applicable law.

Willkie and the parties with whom we work (e.g., service providers, business partners) may place, view, and/or use “cookies” or similar technologies to collect certain information about your use of this website and other websites. This may include information about the IP address of your computer, browser type, language, operating system, your mobile device, geo-location data, the state or country from which you accessed this website, the web pages visited, the date and the time of a visit, and the websites you visited immediately before visiting this website.

Willkie and the parties with whom we work may use the information collected for various reasons, either on behalf of Willkie or for the other parties’ own purposes, including research, analysis, to better serve visitors to this website, to compile aggregate and anonymous information about usage of this website, etc. Any information collected by cookies will be done so on an anonymous basis, and Willkie does not link any personal information you provide with cookie data.

Willkie does not process or respond to web browsers’ “do not track” signals or other similar transmissions that indicate a request to disable online tracking of users who visit our website. However, you can prevent website tracking by changing the settings in your web browsers to disable cookies permanently or to alert you when cookies are being sent so you can refuse them at that time. The help function on most browsers contains instructions on how to change these cookie settings. Please note that if you disable cookies or refuse to accept a request to place a cookie, it is possible that some parts of this website will not function properly.

Disclosure of Personal Information and Other Information
In order to provide the information and services described in this Privacy Policy, we may share your personal information and other information with our other offices or with carefully selected vendors that perform services on our behalf. We may also use or disclose your personal information and other information, including across country borders, for the following purposes: (i) to comply with the law or in response to a subpoena, court order, law enforcement or government request, or other legal process; (ii) to produce relevant documents or information in connection with litigation, arbitration, mediation, adjudication, government or internal investigation, or other legal or administrative proceedings; (iii) to protect the interests, rights, safety, or property of Willkie, our clients, users of this Web site, or others; (iv) in connection with any proposed or actual sale or other transfer of some or all assets of Willkie, and/or any proposed or actual sale or merger of Willkie or any division of Willkie; (v) to combat fraud or other criminal activity; (vi) for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information; (vii) as otherwise required or permitted by law; and (viii) with your consent.
